Recensioner i media

Transoceanic Animals recounts the stories of five itinerant animals who lived and died in early modern Spain. From a Brasilian armadillo whose carapace graced a cabinet of curiosities in Seville to an Indian rhinoceros who bathed in the Tagus, it reveals the multiple meanings assigned to exotic beasts and examines their shifting roles as specimen, spectacle, symbol and muse. Engaging, illuminating and sometimes harrowing, Beusterien's book makes an important contribution to human-animal history. - Helen Cowie, University of York, author of Llama
